Congress bans the CDC from doing study on gun violence

Depends on how the ban is enforced. In the UK, we've tried a few different ways over the past 50 years or so. The most effective ones were 'gun amnesties' and focused police action where they targetted illegal gun sellers & owners, shook down suspects and confiscated weapons by the skip-load. It's do-able but not quick.
